Foundations of Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH):
Core Principles and Practices
Join Us!
RIAIMH is offering a 12-hour training series designed for home and community-based services professionals in the infant and early childhood community who are interested in learning about (or reviewing) core IECMH concepts. In this series, professionals will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the importance of IECMH principles and practice as related to their work. We will discuss and explore: a) early development and mental health core concepts; b) the critical role of relationships for optimal developmental outcomes; c) the role of culture in relationship building and caregiving practices and d) the power of reflection and self-awareness to support a strong working alliance with families. We use a social justice and cultural humility lens to deepen understanding of our work and to appreciate the critical role of parents, family members, and other key caregivers in the development and ongoing mental health and wellbeing of infants and young children. This includes collaborating with families and honoring their parenting perspective and experiences (Weatherston, 2012).
Facilitated by: Sheila Grant Orphanides, MS, IMH-Endorsed® Faculty
